Water saving success

Woy Woy Public School has been monitoring its water usage using the online Smart Water meter since June 2010.

Thanks to water saving initiatives, the school is now saving 1432.85kL a year, cutting its water usage by more than half.

Over the past 12 months, the school has consumed a total of 1,112.15kL with an average consumption of 6.7kL per person per day.

Prior to the installation of the school's water saving initiatives, the school was averaging 2545kL annually, equivalent to 15.3kL per person per day.

If the school's current pattern of water use continues over the next 10 years, the water saving initiative would have saved 14,329kL, almost double the forecast water savings submitted in the school's original funding proposal.
